Vlog Episodes 37 & 38 – VMOW and MOW 2025
Did you know that we have a Youtube channel where we catch up with all of you about once a month in our vlog? (“Vlog” is short for video (b)log and the name for videos that are filled with delightful bits and bobs from the video creator’s life or work.)
In our vlog, Sonja natters with the rest of the mill folk and takes you behind the scenes at the goings on at our mill. We often take you on a deep dive into particular yarn and tops ranges, showing you how they have been developed and talking you through the colour palette. We also, crucially, show off how a yarn will work up – always helpful – and update you on different bits and bobs we’ve been up to. Last, but not least, we do introduce you to some of our machines! We reckon it is perfect watching whilst you craft along, with a cuppa tea in hand, of course!
So that you don’t have to sit with pen and paper in hand to take note of what we’re wearing and what the patterns are called, we’re putting up shownotes on Youtube, and now here on the blog. In those shownotes, you can read up on our knitting projects, see which yarns we’ve been using, and check out links to other things we might have mentioned in the vlog.
Vlog Episode 38 – Virtual Open Weekend, 2025
In Episode 38 of our vlog, we first show you all of our MOW 2025 Samples, knit up in Mineralogy, our MOW 2025 special! We then have a little craft and natter and show you Becca Thorne’s beautiful lino-cut illustrations before taking you into tops wonderland (make sure to check that out!). We also share the gorgeous hand dyed MOW specials, our cozy Heirloom Blankets, and have a little Mill Tour chat with Laura. Get yourself a cuppa, and join us for Episode 38!
